Currently the Commercial and Consumer Tribunal (CCT) has
jurisdiction to hear certain domestic and commercial building
disputes. In 2009, what we like to call the Super Tribunal will be
created which is to be formally known as the Queensland Civil and
Administrative Tribunal (QCAT). The Queensland Government is to
establish the QCAT to provide a single gateway to increase the
community's access to justice.
The QCAT will amalgamate a number of existing tribunals into one
across a wide variety of topics. The list includes the
Anti-Discrimination Tribunal, the Children Services Tribunal, the
Guardianship and Administration Tribunal. In total, twenty-three
tribunals and some of the functions of five other bodies are
proposed to be amalgamated into the QCAT.
